applying iron oxide to greenware
SmartsyArtsy replied to barb9000's topic in Studio Operations and Making Work
No explosions! You might have to test color depth a bit. I add less frit than oxide, although others add equal parts. Have fun. -

The general answer is Yes. But I advise you to add a flux, maybe Frit 3124, 3110 to help . As to how much/thin to apply there are some questions: Which iron oxide are you using? What color clay are you using? What cone do you expect to fire? Higher temp will burn more of it out. -

I have been trying the vinegar since this was posted and I do think it is helping.

I have found trader joe' s lavender oil is helping. I agree that something should be put on and rubbed in well before working
